Hunter supply Pentagon hollow points

[357reloading]

Hunters supply sells a different shaped hollow point, pentagon. http://www.hunters-supply.com/shop/index.php?cPath=45&osCsid=2b23c25b96dc270aec9cd3b37c21c457

also sold by midway.

Anyone have thoughts if the lead would exaned in a 380 auto? I don't see a BHN hardness number. Have shot a few full metal jackets and round nose lead in telephone books. Interesting bullets. The price seems expensive compared to flat point version.

That particular cast boolit from Hunters Supply is rated at BHN10. Should expand beautifully. I use them in 9MM and 40.

+1 for Erik's work. Looking at his site is to me what looking at AutoTrader is to Joe Dirt... Wish I had more disposable assets.

That's a 38/357 bullet you posted in your picture.

The bhn of the bullets your asking about is 10 or a 20 to 1 tin/lead ratio.

The penta points aid in expansion at slower speeds ( I have 2 different molds that I use/cast and test large round hp's vs penta point hp's). The 10bhn boolit/penta point combo's I've tested (38's/44's) seem to do their best expansion & staying intact wise in the 900 to 1000 fps range.

I know nothing about the 380acp, what kind of velocities can you get out of the 92gr boolit they have listed for sale on their website?

I have used Hunters Supply bullets in my .38-55 with good results.
Never used their handgun bullets.
